"Carmel" deluxe 1st-floor condo by pool, pond & beach

No wonder Tommy Bahama wants to spend an endless summer (year-round!) at "The Carmel" ~ and you would, too, even if only for a week or a weekend! This 2-bedroom (1st-floor) showcase condo, furnished in classy-coastal-cottage décor, is only a stroll away from Whitecap Beach, and is just steps away from all Beach Club resort-style amenities ~ pool, hot tub, sauna, gym. Yet you'll sense a quiet peace at "The Carmel” with its private patio views of the beckoning beach, the saltwater fishing lake and more...

It's all here! As far as all your Internet needs, "The Carmel" is equipped with fast-speed WiFi, the latest Spectrum cable, and 2 smart TVs, so you won't need to skip a beat with work or school, nor with your favorite programs. Has equipped-to-the-hilt kitchen and even a full-size washer & dryer for all your beachcomber laundry needs. Sleeping configurations include King-size in master bedroom, Queen-size in guest bedroom, Queen-size sofa bed in living room, plus portable youth-size folding cot, AND baby's pack-'n-play, too.

Please, NO PETS or EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS: Our family has severe allergies and it is imperative that we keep our premises dog/cat dander-free. Folks with emotional support animals, regretfully, we must decline your inquiry to book due to this. While we understand your need, we cannot take the risk on our family's health, as this is our family's beach retreat. Much appreciated!

We named this splendid condo "The Carmel" because it reminds us of our California honeymoon location, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and this “Carmel” is also by the sea ~ actually only a 5-minute stroll to lovely Whitecap Beach. You couldn’t be any closer to all the water sports imaginable like fishing, boating, parasailing, windsurfing, you name it. Furthermore, it’s only a short drive to Padre Island National Seashore ~ the world's longest stretch of undeveloped barrier island. It all adds up to "The Carmel” being the ideal beach resort-style condo retreat for everyone ~ families, couples, honeymooners, wedding guests, babymooners, small groups (up to 6), plus baby – and yes, Tommy Bahama, too!

Lovely island getaway
Our family of 4 very much enjoyed our stay at the Carmel. It had everything we needed and the location was perfect- easy walk to the beach and short drive to the grocery store and restaurants.This area has a much more relaxed vibe than nearby Port Aransas. The beds are comfy and the towels soft! The condo is very clean. Plenty of space for us with our 2 adult children. Wonderful private deck with view. Excellent communication with the hosts. So happy we stayed here.

This condo was absolutely stunning! It was so beautifully decorated and felt like home. The condo was equipped with everything we needed and included lots of extras. They even provided spices for cooking. Richard and Marilyn are excellent hosts and provided exceptional communication through out the entire process. The check in process was seamless. They also provided details about the area and local amenities. Richard and Marilyn were very welcoming and kind. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and gym area. I wish we could have stayed longer! I would highly recommend staying at this condo, you won't regret it!

Amazing!
Everything was wonderful. Our entire stay was so relaxing. The AC worked great, which was a perfect escape from this Texas heat. Both beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the peaceful view of the pond, jumping fish, and sound of the breeze blowing over the water while sitting on the back porch. Everything was clean and beautifully decorated. The host replied quickly to any messages I sent. We couldn’t ask for more. We loved it so much and wanted to move in. We will definitely be back next year.

We saw gulls, cranes, crackles, prairie dogs and a mother possum and her 5 babies. Check In/Out super easy. The condo was beautifully decorated and so clean. The Beds were extremely comfortable. Its very close to everything and anything you need. The beach is within walking distance. So Amazing we didn't want to leave. 5 🌟 stars. Highly recommend!

This condo was great and the owners have thought of many extras to make you comfortable, for example dish soaps and sponge, many kitchen supplies and gadgets. The TV and streaming access was exceptional. Beds were very comfortable and the condo is in one of the best locations for this complex. Communication with the owners was exceptional. Good value for the money. Would recommend and would stay there again.

Location is great.
This property’s location to the beach makes up for any other minor nuances. There was left over shampoo and and hair in the bathtub from assuming previous guest. Ceilings are pretty thin and this being a first floor apartment there were times we heard our neighbors above. All in all Richard and Marilyn’s condo is welcoming and well decorated, they had wonderful communication and clear instructions on check in and check out. All in all we had a wonderful stay.

Great property and location
Great property and location. We stayed here for our daughter’s birthday. It was a perfect space! Will say that the property has tons of stickers in the grass which was a little frustrating with the assigned parking space right at the end. Otherwise, seriously can’t say anything negative because it’s a perfect vacation spot!
